Default invincible hardware???

did chrysler decide to put invincible hardware inthe motor mounts? i know it cant be that strong because i snapped the head off of a seized bolt that is holding my front motor mount in but i can seem to drill the damn thing out for the life of me.... im going to drill a small hole in it, torch it to hell, and pray that the heat will break away the rust so i can get this bolt out with an easy out or something... i bought a drill it that said it was for metal and it does nothing to this bolt... does anybody have any recommendations on a certain drill bit or something to drill into that bolt??? thanks every1

I did that... I just broke out the mig and weilded a nut onto it and spun it out. I think maybe the heat from the weilder might have helped in that instance anyhow.

You should have more luck with that then an easy out. Easy outs break to easy IMO.

You could try a cobalt drill bit. Most have money back guarantees too!
